Morocco secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Scotland in their second Group C match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, moving to the top of the standings with four points.
The Atlas Lions made a dream start as Ismael Saibari found the net in just the second minute of the match, scoring what is believed to be the fastest goal ever scored by Morocco and an Arab nation in World Cup history.
After taking the early lead, Morocco produced a disciplined defensive display, successfully containing Scotland's attacks and preserving their advantage until the final whistle.
The victory follows Morocco's 1-1 draw against Brazil in their opening match, leaving Walid Regragui's side with four points from two games and in a strong position to qualify for the knockout stages.
Morocco now sit atop Group C ahead of the outcome of the group's other fixture between Brazil and Haiti. The Atlas Lions will conclude their group-stage campaign against Haiti, aiming to secure a place in the Round of 16.
